Alan Wake + DLC is 15 bucks on GoG - worth it for both? Or just American Nightmare for 5?

The Lowest Alan Wake has been on Steam was 14,99 by itself. I personally am waiting for it to arrive at 7,50 for the base game, but 15 for the pack (american nightmare and the game) sounds good enough.

Is it Steam Redeemable?

GOG is DRM free (no).

GOG

To clarify, every game GoG offers is DRM-free -- including a lack of CD keys.

Do installers downloaded from GoG need to check in or can they be run completely offline?

No. Yes.

The latter. The installer is nothing more than a regular installer.

How does the leader boards in American Nightmare work in the GOG version? I'm assuming the steam version pulls from your steam friends list.

Fuuuuuck D:

So I managed to obtain the Source Film Making Beta. I clicked on the Install, which does the typical Steam installation stuff. However, I get a "connection error" thing so it didn't install. I thought of installing it later, so I closed the notification box. However, I can't find it in my library!

The beta is public now.

It's in open beta, so you shouldn't have to worry about finding it in your library. Try restarting Steam if you can't find it.

What a shame :/. Then I'll wait for the summer sale.

I wish the Steam sale was today, it's my birthday. ;_;

I know it starts tomorrow sadly.

You should be happy because it's your birthday.

Happy birthday!

 

[Wok]

So. How much money are you planning to spend guys?

I have 35 bucks. I'm poor

Exactly the same amount in my Steam wallet, but in euros.

And I already bought Little Inferno blinded, outside of Steam, for $15. So I have already spent a bit too much. They got me when they mentioned it was a business model "inspired by the dashing Mr. Checker's spyparty", which is a game for which I would like to take part in the beta, but have not received an invite yet. By the way, if anyone on GAF has received and accepted an invite, I would be interested in this person asking for one for me on the private spyparty forum, this would get the process accelerated.

If Gabe does not manage to suprise me with the summer sales, I believe I will mostly support indie developpers anyway.

Now you hopefully got all the money u can spend for tomorrow~


I am interested in Chantelise, Fortune Summoner and the Ys Games.
Besides that, any good japanese Games on steam?

 

[IcyRhythms]

I hope COD WaW goes on sale day one. My friends and I are looking forward to zombies

 

[Boss Doggie]

Ahh didn't know it's open now

 

[Lasthope106]

If there is no sale tomorrow the internet will commit suicide, amrite guise?

Jason Holtman (Valve) was asked about the situation in the UK where Steamwork titles were not offered on Steam, but at retail and other online services:

“There are lots of reasons why those things happen,” explains Jason, “and we don’t comment on that. But I think what the important piece about Steam and Steamworks is is that we decouple those things [i.e. you can use Steamworks without publishing on Steam]. At the end of the day, the partner can choose what to do. We haven’t linked those two things up. If you have a Steamworks enabled game and don’t want it on the store, or it isn’t on the store for another reason, that’s fine as well."

In the past six months, the situation appears to have been resolved. “You’re right,” says Jason, "it was odd. But I think it worked out in the end for customers.”

This has actually been sorted. You can buy stuff like Darksiders II on the Steam store now, where you couldn't before.

It's my birthday too, friend. No better present than the one of sales tomorrow morning. Imagine it like having your birthday two days in a row.

My son turns 3 today so that's 3 birthdays. I will celebrate his birthday today and for the next 11 days following. Like Hannukah!

 

[hlhbk]

Man if the Steam sale doesn't happen tomorrow I think we seriously need to put GAF on suicide watch.....

 

[morningbus]

You know what's crazy? It's not my birthday today.

It's like a fucking conspiracy.

Clearly it's a conspiracy developed by your mother's uterus. We should bring it in for questioning.

Outside of the Alan Wake games and ARMA 2, I'm not really sure what I want.

You can get both Alan Wake games on GOG for ~$15 right now.

The best service for gamers? Really? Now that is laughable at best. While their games are not DRM free tell me the last time Valve:

1. Sued gamers for pirating their game like they were part of the music industry?
2. Lied to their consumers and acted like their service was shutting down and acted like the downloads being available was a major issue only to launch a new website and hurting their customers good will in the process?

First thing wasn't related to GOG, it was for CD Projekt's own game The Witcher 2, and they told the law firm to stop doing it after fan outrage.
Second thing was trivial in the grand scheme of things, a really stupid failed joke with no ill intentions.
None of these things have any impact on GOG as a service or your ability to keep your DRM-free games indefinitely. Which was the only reason for my statement. Anyway, we should probably end this discussion.

Welcome to the STEAM thread where, strangely, people like to have their shit on Steam.

Like going to the Starbucks thread where, strangely, people like to drink their coffee at Starbucks. Because, even though you can get the exact same coffee somewhere else, maybe for cheaper, Starbucks provides a free cookie with each coffee and that other store WiFi access is not as good. Maybe that other coffee store is having a sale, but you want the complete package, with the achievements cookies.

Edit: I'm sorry, this message wasn't supposed to be this long, but I really liked this Coffee parallel I've built.

 

[Fantastical]

Fuck it. I think I'm just going to buy Alan Wake and American Nightmare from GOG.

Hey speaking of liking to have games on Steam...would anyone like to have Sniper Elite V2 on Steam for $15?

If so let me know and I'll post when we get the deal live either late this evening or early tomorrow.

P.S. Starbucks doesn't offer free cookies anymore, but I love their smoothies.

Thanks for posting this. I have a collage in photoshop with pictures of people asking for CoD4 Steam keys. I plan on turning this into a Christmas card and sending it over to those guys this year with a picture of me wearing a Santa Suit carrying a bag full of Monopoly money.

Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip, any other cookie is clearly inferior.

Here's something interesting I found related to Big Picture Mode:
1. Go to your Steam folder.
2. Right click on Steam.exe and select Create Shortcut.
3. Right click on the shortcut and select Properties. In the Target box add -fullscreenopengl to the end of the line.
4. Exit Steam and click on the shortcut.

Wasn't the UK situation due to Play playing hard ball with the publishers in regards to games being on Steam?

Play going out of business resolved the issue.

Acti really ought to make CoD4 and World at War keys retroactively Steam-friendly, seeing as they're the only two modern* CoD games without such support.

* Excluding CoD3, which nobody cares for.

Can't test it, I'm at work and the VM doesn't support OpenGL. What happens?

 

[drizzle]

Shows up in a resizeable window in which the Steam interface takes 100% of that screen, probably using OpenGL, which means it'll probably be able to go fullscreen.

Now we just need a Skin update and controller support.

It's a secret clearly, or he would've told us already.

The thing is people bitch about wanting DRM free games and here is a DRM free version of the game thats really cheap. They can then just link it to steam through the non steam game option.
